To Our God

Bethel Live's song "To Our God" is a powerful anthem of faith, renewal, and collective worship. The lyrics begin with a vivid image of rising from the ashes, symbolizing a rebirth or a fresh start brought about by divine love. This transformation is further emphasized by the transition from darkness to light, a common metaphor for moving from despair to hope. The song speaks to the healing of sorrows and burdens, suggesting a deep sense of comfort and restoration that comes from a higher power.

The chorus, with its repetitive and unifying lines, "To Our God we lift up one voice," emphasizes the collective nature of worship. It’s not just an individual experience but a communal one, where many voices come together to sing praises. The use of the word "Hallelujah"—a term of praise and worship—reinforces the song's spiritual fervor and the joy found in faith. This communal aspect is a hallmark of Bethel Live's music, which often focuses on creating a shared worship experience.

The song also speaks of liberation and victory, with lines like "Chains have been broken, eyes have been opened." These phrases suggest a release from bondage and a newfound clarity or enlightenment. The imagery of an "army of dry bones" rising is a direct reference to the biblical story of Ezekiel, where dry bones come to life, symbolizing revival and renewal. The declaration that "Death is defeated" and "We are victorious" underscores the triumph of life and faith over death and despair. The repeated emphasis on making His praise "glorious" serves as a call to elevate the act of worship, making it a grand and celebratory expression of faith.
